Apreamare: The Pearl of Maritime Tradition
The roots of the Apreamare shipyard date back to 1849, when shipbuilder Giovanni Aprea built the first fishing boats. These boats, handcrafted with the characteristic lines of Sorrento gozzo, created a revolution in the maritime world. Giovanni’s legacy was continued by his son Cataldo and nephew Giovanni, who also adopted the passion for sailing as a family tradition.
Innovation and Quality: Apreamare’s Brand
After World War II, the Aprea family pioneered technological innovations and revolutionized the industry with the application of automobile-derived engines to marine vessels. Apreamare shipyard has gained a solid place for itself in the maritime world by switching to the production of recreational boats.
Growth and Internationalization: Journey with Ferretti Group
In 1988, Cataldo Aprea, together with the builder Salvatore Pollio, founded Apreamare Srl, enriching the historic craftsmanship with material and design innovations that attracted great attention in Italy and abroad. In 2001, after a period of nine years, Apreamare was acquired by the Ferretti Group and focused on further growth in the international arena.
Traditional Values and Innovation: Journey to the Future
In 2010, Apreamare’s founding family regained control with the aim of maintaining the company’s commitment to Naples’ history and maritime tradition. It continues to strengthen its leadership in the maritime world by constantly focusing on innovative designs and quality, while maintaining the original and distinctive features of its products.
